*SOLD* 1979 Ruger New Model Blackhawk .45 Colt *AMAZING WESTERN-STYLE REVOLVER*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger New Model Blackhawk, introduced in 1973, is a significant evolution of the classic Blackhawk revolver, featuring enhanced safety and modernized mechanics. Unlike earlier models, the New Model Blackhawk incorporates a transfer bar safety mechanism, which prevents accidental discharge by ensuring that the hammer only strikes a chambered round when the trigger is fully pulled. This innovation eliminated the need for the hammer to be half-cocked during loading and unloading, making it safer to carry with all six chambers loaded. Available in various calibers, including .357 Magnum, .44 Special, .45 Colt, and .30 Carbine, and offered in both blued steel and stainless steel finishes, the New Model Blackhawk is known for its durability, versatility, and precision.
It continues Ruger's tradition of producing rugged, reliable revolvers with adjustable sights and coil spring mechanisms, which improve longevity and performance compared to older Colt designs. The New Model Blackhawk’s user-friendly design and safety features, combined with multiple barrel length options, have made it a popular choice for hunters, target shooters, and revolver enthusiasts alike.
